Background and justification: The Seward City Code States (paying special attention to 16.01.015 A, 16.05.015 A., A.3., and B) 16.01.015. Conditions to plat approval. A. No preliminary or final plat for the subdivision or resubdivision of land located within the city limits shall be approved by the city unless all of the required improvements set forth in section 16.05.010 are provided for by the subdivider,owner, proprietor or developer in the manner described in section 16.05.015. 16.05.015. Compliance procedure. A. The subdivider,owner, proprietor or developer is deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this title when he has entered into the subdivision agreement with the city.The subdivision agreement shall be written to cover one or a combination of the following alternatives available to the subdivider: 1. The subdivider may elect to complete all required public improvements prior to approval and recording of the final plat or prior to sale or issuance of a building permit,as the case may be. If this is done,the subdivision agreement,delineating the construction and inspection requirements for each improvement,shall be entered into prior to commencement of construction. 2. The subdivider may elect to complete required improvements after approval and recording of the final plat,the conveyance or the issuance of the building permit. In this event,the subdivision agreement shall delineate: a. The construction and inspection requirements of the appropriate governmental agency or city department concerning the required improvements; b. The time schedule for completion of required improvements; C. A method of insuring that such improvements shall be completed to the specifications required and in the time schedule agreed upon. 3. The subdivider may elect to form a special assessment district prior to any sales,obligating all property owners in the subdivision to assume the costs of all required public improvements not previously installed. B. The improvements required under the terms of the subdivision agreement shall be fully completed within three years of the date of execution of the agreement,except if a special assessment district has been formed, in which case improvements will be installed when a sufficient demand is made of the city. 102 Tom Lindquist is subdividing his parcel at 2109 Unimak Circle. It is currently one large parcel, and it is being subdivided into 5 smaller parcels for residential development. His preliminary replat was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 11,2022 (Resolution 2022-019). He has signed his Subdivision Agreement,which states a requirement that an assessment district be formed before the lots are allowed to be sold which will enable improvements to be installed when sufficient demand is made from the City by the future owners. This assessment district only applies to lots 15-18 as lot 14 has full utility access. The remaining parcels already have electric installed and partial water. When sufficient demand is made, sewer and partial water will be required before structures would be permitted. The owners of the properties would be responsible for the total cost of the remaining utility installation. The estimated cost of the improvement at this time would be about$160,000 total or$40,000 per lot.
